Abstract

A synchronization system includes a memory and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a write interface for writing data in said memory with a first clock signal, wherein the write interface is configured for operating with a write pointer in response to a write command, a read interface for reading data from said memory with a second clock signal, wherein the read interface is configured for operating with a read pointer in response to a read command, a synchronization circuit for synchronizing said write pointer and said read pointer with a synchronization latency, and an elaboration circuit for elaborating data in memory with an elaboration latency, wherein the elaboration latency is smaller than the synchronization latency.
